Trip Report: I got an early start so I got to park near the trailhead in the #1 lot at Waterville Valley. Was done before noon so I decided to hit the popular Welch-Dickey Loop a little further down Route 49.

Wind near top at part of Sosman trail that hugs the Western side of summit block was stronger than I expected for a wooded peak but not bad. Had summit to myself & passed about 15 people on my way down.
